Which Build Should I Use?

[TheKolapo00]

What I have below is what I had in my other forum so people could build me The PC. Now I have 2 builds and im not sure which to go with. Also dont forget to read what im using it for.

Build 1: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6xxRwP
Build 2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VPMmNG

Budget: $875-$950 with Operating System I need an HDD And an SSD. SSD Can be smallest I just need it to hold OS on so it boots up faster.

Gonna use this to Stream on Twitch, Record for Youtube, and Render Videos For Youtube.

Gonna be playing Dayz, Minecraft, Rust, Arma III, Call Of Duty, BF4, Gary's mod, Left 4 Dead 2, and a few other steam games.

Needs to be able to play these games and stream/record at same time without lagging.

Also it needs to all be set for newegg on pcpartpicker, because im ordering it all at once.

I would get the top build, but change the PSU to a better unit. The EVGA B series are they lowest end units.

By top you meant Build 1 right?

I changed power supply. not it is 18 dollars over budget.

No, that is still a B series unit..

Get an Antec HCG-620 or an XFX650. Both should be around the same price. The PSU is the single most important part of a PC and is NEVER to be cheaped out on.

You could get a good 22 nm Intel CPU for that price...

But he is streaming and rendering, and the 8320 will be much better for than than a locked i5.

What about an unlocked one? 4690K?

On his budget, to get that he would have to give up GPU, which is a terrible idea for gaming. His build with the PSU change is ideal. An i5 will not help in his situation.

What is the full name of the power supply unit xfx650

 

[tiny voices]

Just any XFX unit that is 650w. There is like a Core and an XXX edition. Both are very good.

Yes that will play games slightly (and I mean SLIGHTLY, like not even noticeably) better, but ti will not render/ encode/ stream as well as the 8320. While not being able to afford an i7, the 8320 REALLY is the best bet for OP.

Looks good. I never recommend anything less than 120gb SSD though. but because you will have ZERO programs on it, it will be alright for OS only.

You really want a 990 chipset board if you plan to overclock. But otherwise it looks good to go.

Build 1 would be better.

Nope, build 2 is better. Better quality PSU and better CPu. Easy call there.
